02/03/5027, two days after the Desir auction attack.
I woke up to something moving the comforter. Literally, someone was hugging me very tightly. It wasn't Jin. I could feel that it was a man in his 30s who was hugging me.
"Dad."
I looked over at someone who was under the comforter who was looking at me with those bright orange eyes.
"Go away!"
The man was very similar to me. Is he older than my 15 year old body, was he the 30 year old version of Alexander? Will I look like this when I get older?
"…" He looked at me with teary eyes.
"Do not make eyes sad."
That idiot Alexander (Night Pigeon) sent that thing over here. The dragon that appeared at the Desir Auction was now chasing me as if I were its father.
When he showed up, he didn't let go of me.
Technically that's how it is when the hen hatches the eggs. I'm not a chicken and I don't want to be the father or progenitor of this troubled dragon that exudes a sinister aura.
"Dad, don't leave me! Sniff… Sniff…"
"I am not your father!"
I was going to say I'm young to be a parent, but I'm wandering around before space and time even existed. However, mentally I am unfit to be a father, I have been human for about 500,000 years, but I never reached adulthood, as I died before turning 20 in every lifetime.
I want to be able to be 100 years old, no. I want to live in the physical world until the next formation of destruction and creation.
But now... I have this thing like a son? I prefer that robot as my delinquent son.
"You are! We have the same blood running through our veins and we look the same! We are Dad and Son! Don't deny the truth!"
The mirror looks like me and we are not related and the mosquito also has my blood and we are not brothers or relatives.
Just because you have those two things doesn't mean anything!
"Then go away son~ You already know how to protect yourself and you are already an adult~ You are free~ Free~.
"No I do not want!"
This brat! For some reason it reminds me of Yu's behavior...
"Okay, you asked for it."
-Hit!
"Why did you h-hit me? I didn't do anything w-wrong! I'll tell mama!"
"I'm raising a naughty child and he won't help you either."
"I'm an adult who needs parental affection! You have no heart!"
No. He is noisier than Yu.
It's like Yu is an apt and this dragon is a ten thousand one hundred and seven sirens.
Wait.
I've never had a son... I think it's a good time for me to have one, even if it's a dragon. However, Jin cannot know. He'll be mad to know I've done something irresponsible without his opinion, but it's not my fault.
So is this what a woman looks like when she's pregnant? Distress and fear of being rejected.
No, I don't know what to do. Honestly, I can't find a suitable solution.
And I don't want to lie to Jin. I feel bad for hiding everything about myself from him.
Let's tell him the truth.
"Let's go get some breakfast. Don't call me 'you' it's disrespectful to your father."
"S-Sorry…"
I feel so good about having a child! But it's not how I imagined it would be... I gave up trying to persuade this child, even trying to find a way to send him away doesn't exist, predicting the future is useless, in all the infinite possibilities he came back whimpering.
Only one that I managed to make him never come back, destroy this dimension. I'm too lazy to use a huge amount of me to do this.
"What's your name?"
"Name! I don't have it!"
Don't you remember that you are the black dragon Sitceviei, ruler of death and life?
He started to cry again. Oh my, this is going to be hard work.
"If I'm your father I must name you. Isn't that right?"
"Yes! Yes! I want to!"
I'm terrible at naming.
Name. name. name.
"Your name will be Nartor Hoxan Adrilia."
"Nartor! I like it!"
I'm going to call him Narcchi, which means noisy.
[You have just named one of the 4 primordial dragons as your blood relative and family name.]
[ The second primordial dragon Sitceviei, who controls death and life. Now it is not part of the 4 primordial dragons, but it still has its authority over death and life.]
[Since Nartor Hoxan Adrilia (Sitceviei) is now the son of Alexander Adrilia, his authority over death and life has been blocked.]
[In order to use his Authority, Nartor needs the permission of his father, Alexander Adrilia.]
[5000 stat points for doing something sooooo troublesome.]
"…"
"…"
Nartor looked at me with teary eyes again.
"Sniff… Waaaa…"
"Hey! You made my son cry!"
Oh? What?
[Oh¿ What¿]
Why am I being fatherly now? I am getting crazy? I seem to be adjusting quickly to the idea of parenting this child. The same trait I have I put in Jin because it's very useful.
[Why are you being a parent now? Has your parental instinct been activated?]
"What a headache. That's the problem with having a human body."
I went to the bathroom and my "son" followed me, but I closed the door.
[I'm the one with a headache here!]
"Aren't you a system?"
[The problem is so big that I have a headache.]
[ _:(´ཀ`」 ∠):_ where is my medicine?]
"…"
[…]
"Open the door dad!"
The two fell silent with the sound of Nartor crying trying to get into the bathroom.
***
I looked at Nartor who was happily eating his breakfast. I don't know what dragons normally eat, but he's in human form, so I don't think that's a problem...
"A little more!"
Even though Nartor looks like a 30 year old man he is a 10 year old child, no, 5 years old.
It's a strange sight.
We look so much alike that it can be said that we really are father and son. Nartor as a father and me as a son, but it's the opposite of that...
Total disarray.
I finished reading a book with all available information about dragons that the system gave me.
[It is irresponsible of you to spend more than 500 points to buy dragon care books. I was cutting a pipe waiting for the rain...]
"Finished? We're going to buy you clothes."
"Yes!"
I washed the dishes using magic, I did it myself. Most spells in this world are…
Attack, attack, heal, attack, attack.
Nartor and I were in a better located mall in Niar, the city where luxury products are sold and traded. I wanted to see what the main scenarios I wrote were like. To enter Niar, you have to pay a fee of 10,000 Tel per person, which is exactly the minimum wage.
I feel bad that I'm still using stolen money... I am Recta's cancer and maybe the world will be destroyed by me before the demon god comes.
I walked with Nartor behind me, he wasn't behaving like a child. He acts different in different situations. When we're alone he acts like a noisy son, but now he acts like a noble from a faraway kingdom...
And people's words confirm my words.
"Look at that handsome man! Is he a noble?"
"My god! I'm in love!"
"Is he married? How is it possible for someone to be so handsome!"
"He is accompanied by a boy, it seems to be his son."
"Son? They have a resemblance, but the boy doesn't have the same beauty as his fathers. Maybe when he gets older, he'll look just like his father."
Some people said things that were making me sad. I'm ugly? No! It's all because of [Charm] 0! As I've said to myself, it's just an illusion or mental magic that influences people's minds.
If you want to be beautiful and only invest in the [Perfect Body] stat that really helps change your appearance to something more symmetrical and beautiful, not the witchcraft called [Charm].
But [perfect body] is obtained when one is SSSSS rank when one is literally a deity. It is allowed to change its appearance or improve it. Abeth has these two divine skills, [Perfect Body] and [Appearance Change].
While I was arguing with my inner demons that I'm not ugly, someone decided to stop Nartor and me.
"Hi, Are you walking with your son? Would you like to know my number?" She appeared in front of me, the woman winds a lock of her hair with her finger.
Wanting to appear shy and pure. Sorry 540 year old lady, my son has 2 days left to live and I don't allow you to look at him with those greasy eyes.
"No, he's not my son." Nartor quickly got in front of me trying to protect me like he was a security guard.
She is a D rank woman, I don't think she is a danger to me. I don't know what my rank is, but should I take the test at a specialized company or in WA which is free?
"Oh! sorry! Is it your brother then?" She was startled by Nartor who abruptly appeared in front of her.
He is fast. He is a dragon. Even if his Authority is blocked, his other abilities are still available. He can still destroy this world with one punch...
Is his strength stat already greater than 10 billion?
Exaggeration!
I totally forgot something important. Nartor is not a true primordial dragon, but for him to manifest in the physical world, he assumes a life form that matches his true body's power level.
So we have one of the creator's toys in this world?
There is only one primordial dragon still alive and now we have three. Liu Yu, Nartor and-
I was deeply thinking that an abyss was forming in my mind, but someone's words made me fall into another abyss.
"No, he's my father." Said the man who looked to be in his 30s saying a 15 year old boy is his father.
Silence remained among the stunned listeners.
"…"
"…"
"..."
"…"
"…"
"…"
Not only the woman was shocked, but the crowd of people who were listening. One could see many surprised faces and open mouths.
"Let's go Dad-"
"Alexander!" A voice I heard earlier called my name with great enthusiasm.
"Who is it now!"
Narto looked towards the voice.
I saw someone I shouldn't have seen in this weird situation. Emi was accompanied by 3 people the same age as me.
"Alexander! Are you in Niar? Is it this big Man? Who is…?"
The 'Who is...?' was so rough and rude that even I was irritated.
Can't I say he's my son to her?
She already knows that I'm capable of knocking out a demon lord easily, this won't surprise her.
"It's mine-"
"I'm Nartor Hoxan Adrilia, Son of Alexander. Nice to meet you Miss Emi."
-Knock!
"Don't interrupt your father!"
Nartor frowned and looked at me with watery eyes again.
"You keep interrupting your father, that's what you get."
"S-s-s-son?" Emi's dark eyes were scary, her soul seemed to go away.
"Let's go Narcchi. Want to go along Emi?"
"Y-y-y-y-yes!!!"
We left the crowd of people baffled by an event that happened once and never again.
Emi even asked questions if Nartor really was my son. It's the questions about, "where's his mother? where? where? where?" they were repetitive.
Entering the mall was the same reaction as the people around.
"They are beautiful!"
"I've never seen 5 beautiful people in the same place! Are they gods or something?"
"Rally, but who's the one in front? He's not very handsome."
Everywhere we went, the words were always the same. Their poor vocabulary to express something they found beautiful was just that. Beautiful, wasn't there another word?
I was leading the way, Nartor on the left and Emi on the right. The others who accompanied Emi were 3 people.
I walked into a store with the name 'Gold' at the entrance.
I knew it was one of the most luxurious clothing stores in Recta. I know this because of Alice who developed an addiction to buying clothes from this store.
I suffered a lot writing chapters with her exploiting Jin's money and using it as free transportation.
Spending money is no problem for Jin, he is rich, not because of the Alyoffez money, but Jin has made a fortune. Lyu who did, Jin was thinking about being a hunter and earning some money, but Lyu lectured Jin.
Lyu is not one to be sentimental or express any kind of emotion, but that day was enough for him to call Jin an idiot several times.
His complaints were, "You're going to spend your whole life being a hunter and not get 1 million Tel. Make a company you idiot, what's the point of working if you can get others to do it for you?"
"But but'
"Shut up! I'll run the company, you focus on your training! Let's go! 1000 push-ups! and 1000 squats!"
Lyu is scary when he sees someone acting like an idiot.
***
Looking at the clothes in this store, they are incredible, but apart from the mana that was imbued in them, the clothes in the land have more quality.
The clothes the inhabitants of Tlys make, if I can call it clothes, are more like armor of war.
Of course, the inhabitants of Tlys are robots.
Not surprisingly, they're going to make a very nice and comfortable dress, but it's actually an extreme combat suit.
I don't understand them.
Yes, Tlys' animals and plants are dangerous and all, but they're overreacting a bit. My company with Tlys products will be more a weapons company than a food company…
Really, I'm wanting to destroy Recta even indirectly.
